These things get posted here from time to time. Most of the time they don't post numbers, or when they do the numbers don't make sense. Eevblog / Thunderf00t debunked so many if them.
When your only shtick is debunking, everything looks like a scam. But things often work better in some places than others. There is no reason to put them up in any but the places where they do.
(That is not to suggest most Musk ventures make sense anywhere.)
I think that's an apologist's view. A practical product should optimize on the user experience & functionality, Magic mouse looks good, but the ergonomic & usability are lacking
This is nostalgia, you're remembering things as better than they were. Back then there were so many bad UI in software http://hallofshame.gp.co.at/shame.htm
Yes, there were plenty of bad UI's and they got called out on sites like that because of it. If you read some of those "bloopers" you realize that the functionality the guy is complaining about are pretty much the default broken behavior these days. For example: applications that don't honor system colors.
With some OS's you can't even have fine grained control over those defaults anymore. Dark modes have brought some of it back, so its better now than 5 years ago, but still worse than 20 years ago. But people pretend that having a dark/light switch is the same thing as being able to customize the color of just about every layer of the UI and have the vast majority of the applications honor it.
Are you they not proud of how the glasses look, or are they very budget conscious (ie. Using stock photos, instead of commissioning product photos)?
